Chapter 213: To Each His Heart

An important meeting is taking place in the city of Maharani Xiangfei, Muar, Johor, with the tiger as the totem of the Bugis on one side and the Governor of Batavia of the Dutch East India Company, Edlin.

"Lord Governor, even if you don't come, I'm ready to teach the Tang people of Pattani a good lesson, as long as you can abide by the promise between us and send guns, gunpowder, and your very powerful artillery team in time, when I defeat those hateful Tang people, this is ours!"

Sultan Ibrahim, a tall, muscular Bugis with a somewhat grim face, is the last prestige leader of the waning Bugis.

Governor Edlin moved his feet a little uncomfortably, and the so-called furniture of the Bugis people was too low, which made the tall Governor Edlin's legs a little numb.

He looked across from Sultan Ibrahim, wondering how the equally tall fellow had adapted to these low tables.

Governor Edlin would not have believed a word of the Sultan's words, 'This is ours,'

Because this guy's idol, his own uncle, the last god of war of the Bugis people, Haji Raja, was in 1784, Ye Kaigang crossed over to the first two months of this era, and was killed by him, William of Batavia. Arnold. Killed by the Dutch Army sent by Governor Edlin.

If there was a choice, Governor Edlin would rather believe the Don than choose to believe in this Bugis sultan.

But alas, he only had this option now, because the British people's ambitions to get Malacca and even Batavia, he could see it here!

"Your Majesty Sultan, don't worry, enough guns and ammunition and gunpowder will be sent over immediately, and an artillery battery of the powerful Dutch Army will soon be ready, and we will also send ten armed merchant ships with more than twenty guns to help your fleet attack the Ye family's fleet!"

Taking a deep breath, Governor Edlin put on a face of incomparable righteousness, as if he were now the most loyal friend of the Bugis.

"Your Excellency the Governor, is ten armed merchant ships too little? The Ye family's deep-sea shark has a powerful firepower of 70 guns? Why didn't the two powerful 74-gun battleships in the Doge's Palace not move? ”

Sultan Ibrahim looked at Governor Edlin with some dissatisfaction, everyone knew that the most powerful thing in the Dutch navy was not these modified armed merchant ships, but the two Anthony, which belonged to the Viceroyalty of Batavia. Fan. Battleships of the 3rd rank of the Demomen and Prince William.

"For we need to guard against the intervention of the Britons in India in the war in the South Seas, but rest assured, Your Majesty Sultan, that the Dutch navy is the best in the world, and if you have requested it, we will send fifteen armed merchant ships.

The sailors in the Ye family's fleet are not regular British navy, they are not the opponent of the invincible Dutch navy at all, even if they are regular British navy, there is no way to fight against us! ”

Governor Edlin spoke with a firm expression, this Dutchman is not ordinarily thick-skinned, if the first three Anglo-Dutch wars can be said to have won and lost each other, and even the British Navy suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of Texel in the third war.

But the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, which had just ended three years, was a one-sided hanging, and the Dutch navy was held down by the British all over the world and rubbed back and forth, and finally could only be mediated by the French and achieved a humiliating peace.

But on the South Seas, although the British navy captured and sacked the city of Padang, a stronghold belonging to the governor of Batavia on the island of Sumatra.

However, the Dutch attack also caused the British East India Company to suffer heavy losses, and even the British merchant ships were driven out of the South Seas for a time.

So in the eyes of the Bugis, who do not know the situation in Europe, the Dutch navy is still very strong and not something that the Britons can fight against.

Sultan Ibrahim was satisfied, if he could have the help of fifteen Dutch armed merchant ships, plus some small boats of the Buggis, he should be able to fight against the Ye family's navy, which only had five warships, and on land, he never felt that there was much of a problem.

Because with the help of the Dutch, Sultan Ibrahim took out the savings of the Bugis Deng family for hundreds of years, and trained 25,000 elite troops according to European standards.

They included more than 15,000 European-style line infantry, and a Dutch artillery force of more than 200 men who would fight alongside them.

Although he admitted that the Ye family's clan soldiers were also very combative, they only had five thousand people.

The five-to-one ratio is more exaggerated than the second battle of Cameron Plateau with the Ye family, and Sultan Ibrahim believes that he will be able to completely destroy the Ye family!

Wait until you destroy the Ye family, hehe! In the mind of Sultan Ibrahim, a figure as fierce as a tiger came to mind, it was his own uncle, Haji Raja, the god of war of the Bugis.

"Uncle! I will surely conquer Batavia and restore the glory of the Dumbolini era to our Bugis, and I will definitely cut off the head of Governor Edlin and avenge you! ”

Just as Ibrahim was in his mind, the captain of his guard walked in.

"Your Majesty Sultan, a messenger came from the Ye family, and he said that the chief of the Tang dynasty of the Ye family has sent you a gift!"

"Gifts?" Ibrahim was stunned, why did the Tang people want to give him gifts, and did they want to beg for mercy? It's late!

"Lord Governor, it seems that the Tang people of Pattani are scared, but it is a little too late to send me a gift at this time!

I will definitely refuse these so-called gifts, because everything they have, treasure, land, food, women, will be mine! ”

Governor Edlin touched his nose, the Ye family, who has obtained a membership of the Royal Society, heard that the letter of appointment from the French Academy of Sciences is also on the way, and can climb into the bed of Queen Mary of France from Austria, will you send a gift to intercede?

The Governor remembered Ye Kai's many titles in Europe, including great chemists and medical scientists, especially since he was said to be a good friend of Prince George IV of Britain, who was in the regent.

Such a person, not to mention in the South Seas, is also a remarkable existence in Europe, such a person will bow to this arrogant Bugis Sultan?

Thinking of this, Governor Edlin felt that if that Zinedin really came to bow his head, he would probably feel dull in his face!

。。。。

A tall messenger with a flat head, dressed in the traditional black clothes and trousers of the Tang people, walked in, holding two huge boxes stacked on top of each other, looking very heavy.

Ibrahim sat on the throne and glanced at the messenger with a scornful contempt, he did not know what was in the chest, but no matter what the treasure was, it could not change his determination!

He wants to defeat the Pattani Tang first, and then defeat the Dutch, and become the sultan of sultans like Dumbolini, the king of kings!

"Sultan, our chief has sent me with a gift for you!" The Tang man put the box on the table, looked straight at Sultan Ibrahim and said.

"You Tang man who is looking for death, you should be called His Majesty the Great Sultan Ibrahim, and you should curtsy!" The captain of the Sultan's guard roared loudly.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to see what's in the box?" The Tang envoy didn't care about the captain's roar, but finally added the word "Your Majesty".

"Whatever it is, Ben Sultan doesn't care, because everything you have will be mine!" Sultan Ibrahim sat up straight and sneered.

"Nope! His Majesty the Sultan will definitely care! The Tang envoy said, and opened the first box very rudely.

A thin, skull, pickled in lime that barely smells of it, appears in the box.

"Your Majesty, Sultan Omar greets you!"

"Bold!"

"I'm going to kill you, the Tang man who is looking for death!"

All the Bugis in the hall roared, and Ibrahim Sultan also stood up, glaring at the Tang people in front of him.

It turned out that it was not for him to give a gift, but to provoke, or in front of the Dutch, although Governor Edlin had avoided it in advance, but this person was still a big loss!
